AviMate Newsletter #1 (2/10/01):

AviMate 3 - Bird Breeders Unite!

Dear Registered AviMate User:

We have good news, and we have bad news. The good news is we are working on  a great new upgrade to AviMate, the premier bird breeding management tool! The  bad news is we can only afford to go forward with the costly development and marketing expenses, if we have a minimum level of orders from loyal AviMate users  like yourself.

Here's why you should want AviMate 3: It will be a fully up-to-date 32-bit Windows  application to minimize compatibility issues with your other programs. You will be  able to sell breeder birds using the invoice service; to record extra tracking and  deceased information in your breeder inventory; to see photos of your breeding stock; to record chick feeding/weight information in your nursery inventory; to tailor  your expense records with additional categories; and to search your contact list by  keywords. AviMate 3 will have loads of improvements to its reports; like, an enhanced  Hatch Certificate to replace the old Birth Certificate; a new report to print all unhatched  eggs; a new report showing sales totals by breeder pair; and an additional generation of  information in the progeny report plus the ability to add parent information to an existing  lineage.

"What's new in Version 3" at www.avimate.com has a complete list of our  planned features.

For AviMate 3 to see the light of day, however, we must have a minimum number of  early bird orders. Many software publishers sell new products as "vaporware," never  telling buyers that their product is still on the drawing boards and may never become real. We at Boundaries Unlimited are offering you AviMate 3 instead as "honestware." We are  fully disclosing our predicament. The fact is: to this day we have not recovered our  investment in developing, marketing, and supporting the AviMate product line. With that  track record, we simply cannot bring you AviMate 3 unless we have assurance that we  can recoup some of our investment.

We urge bird breeders to unite together and order as many copies of AviMate 3 as they  will need during our early bird sales period. Not only will you assure the continuance of  the much-praised AviMate product line, but you can save as much as $120 by ordering  before our target release date of April 30.

Please forward this message to your friends and share it in your favorite news groups.  We'll keep you posted about our progress towards making AviMate 3 a reality! Please  help us, so that we can continue to support you with quality bird breeder products.

Sincerely,
Boundaries Unlimited, Inc.

P.S. We have acquired a new Internet domain called www.bb-usa.org, "Bird Breeders- Unite to Support AviMate", as an adjunct to www.avimate.com. We would like to place  this website into the hands of some loyal users who would be interested in serving as  webmasters and content contributors. Our goal is for www.bb-usa.org to become an  information exchange site about AviMate from the users' perspective and also become  a source for other topics of importance to bird breeders.
